      @ben_heathstone My understanding is that this is just a new iOS storefront requirement (all apps that require accounts must let you delete account from within app). Don’t worry, there’s a confirmation step too so you can’t accidentally do it.

        @hsdecktech @ben_heathstone Interesting. If done by mistake (or even maliciously) do you know if it can be retrieved or is it completely gone?

          @lil_robitussin1 @ben_heathstone I didn’t work on this, but I think there is a potential recovery window before the account is gone forever.

            @hsdecktech @lil_robitussin1 @ben_heathstone That does not fix the hacking issue.

                @hsdecktech @lil_robitussin1 @ben_heathstone If you get hacked on the account can't they now not just delete your account?

                  @Sticowish @hsdecktech @lil_robitussin1 @ben_heathstone but you get it that they could that also before that if they hack you right?

                    @Lofilordhs @Sticowish @lil_robitussin1 @ben_heathstone Yeah, this isn’t any additional vulnerability. If your account and the linked email both get hacked, then yeah, they can delete your account just like they could now. Getting the authenticator can always help account security.

        @hsdecktech @ben_heathstone Ok but how funny would it be if it was just a single button click?
